Assessing Alternate Approaches for Conveying Automated Vehicle Intentions
… the general public has a lack of faith in highly automated vehicles (HAV) stems from a lack of system transparency while in motion (e.g., the user not being informed on roadway perception or anticipated responses of the car in certain situations). This problem is particularly prevalent in public …

Cooperative Automated Vehicle Movement Optimization at Uncontrolled Intersections using Distributed Multi-Agent System Modeling
Optimizing connected automated vehicle movements through roadway intersections is a challenging problem. Traditional traffic control strategies, such as traffic signals are not optimal, especially for heavy traffic. Alternatively, centralized automated vehicle control strategies are costly and not …

Interaction between pedestrians and highly automated vehicles: effects of external human-machine interfaces and vehicle size
Pedestrians will interact with automated vehicles of higher automation levels on the road in forthcoming urban traffic. In highly automated vehicles, vehicle automation takes over the driving task, and the former human driver becomes a passenger. The challenge of introducing highly automated …

Exploring the Influence of Anger on Takeover Performance in Semi-automated Vehicles
As autonomy in vehicles increases, the role of the driver will diminish, moving on to more non-driving related tasks. We are at a juncture at which cars have the ability to drive themselves, but only if the driver is ready to take over control of the vehicle when required (e.g., Tesla autopilot). …
